Seffa is a staple Moroccan dish of steamed and sweetened vermicelli that is mounted on a platter in a dome shape, then garnished with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The appealing presentation of seffa is a favorite entree during special occasions and family gatherings. However, it is regularly enjoyed as a stand alone meal in different regions of Morocco.

Melting vermicelli conferred by the butter and crispy coating provided by peanuts is what gives seffa its unique profile. Respecting the three steaming rounds of the seffa gives it a rich texture. The peanuts are baked, blended then sprinkled in lines on top of the seffa. The soft touch of powdered sugar adds a sweet flavor to the dish, while the cinnamon packs the vermicelli with hearty aromas and tangy flavors.

This dish is not complicated to prepare yet requires patience. There are several steps to follow and specific steaming rounds to never skip.
